Hey, back the f**k up there pal and take another look.
[QUOTE=me]The Phoenix will win the A-League.
I didn't bother picking the final table because I couldn't care less about where anybody else finishes.
For the record I believe that the game against Perth was a watershed moment for the team, a purging of the superstitious nonsense about away records and home "fortresses" and not eating airline food that moronic media like to feed foolish feeble-minded fans who lap it up and repeat and regurgitate it until it becomes a great big pile of putrid puke smothering the simple reality that it's 11 guys booting a ball around with 11 other guys on a piece of grass and who gives a f**k where?
My prediction is that over the next two months the Nix are going to banish the away day blues once and for all, finishing the regular season in third before playing two home playoff games and then going over to Aussie to smash whoever is stupid enough to get in the way of a team who's destiny was forged in the white-hot molten metal of our awful pre-season, drawn-out ownership saga, ongoing under-resourcing, a lack of respect abroad and a lack of simple faith at home. A classic underdog story just waiting to unfold.
